# setPropertyPath

Sets the value associated with a property path.

## Declaration

```data
void setPropertyPath(
    in String path, 
    in Object value
);
```

## Parameters

- `path`: The dot-separated sequence of properties from the receiver. The path can contain array indexers. For example, items[0].title refers to the title property stored in index location 0 in the items array.
- `value`: An object associated with the property path.

## Discussion

Discussion Set the property path to associate the data item objects contained in the value parameter with a section element. Listing 1 shows an example of data item objects contained in the newItems object added to the section that binds the images path; for example <section binding="items:{images};" />. let section = shelf.getElementsByTagName("section").item(0)section.dataItem = new DataItem()

let newItems = results.map((result) => {     let objectItem = new DataItem(result.type, result.ID);     objectItem.url = result.url;     return objectItem; });

section.dataItem.setPropertyPath("images", newItems)
